"My garage door sensors failed. Service Technician Frank W. showed up on time and promptly installed a new set. He then proceeded to educate me on how to audit the condition of my garage doors. We found a defective roller, a broken hinge, and 2 frayed lift cables. I am sure anyone of these issues would have been another service call in the near future! To finish up the service call, Frank lubricated all the moving parts on my doors. I am delighted with the professional, quality service I received."

"Real fast service, I approved the estimate and the garage door was installed two days later. I ordered windows in the garage door and the windows that were installed are much nicer than I thought they would be. Good company, good product, good service."

"My garage door developed a bended top due to which it would not close. Mammoth Door came in and the repair guy was honest to let me know that garage door repair was an option instead of getting a new door and spending $2500. He did a great job and charged me pretty reasonable. I 100% recommend this company. I will call them again whenever i decide to install new garage doors."

"I am so happy that I selected EZhawk Garage Door to come out and take a look at my garage door which was not working right. Stephen Hawk came to my house, at no charge, and was totally open and honest with me. Instead of exaggerating the condition of my door he gave me an honest evaluation and quote very fair for his recommended repairs, he did not try to sell me a new door. If I should ever need a new door he would be the first company I would call and probably give him the job. Thanks Steve, thanks Home Adviser"

Customers say: Quick response
"I returned home on 3-26-26 and pressed the garage door opener. The door went up a foot and stopped. I went inside and saw that a spring had broken. I got on Angie list, and within 5 minutes I got a call from garage door MD. They said that they give free estimates and could be over in about an hour. Within an hour Jake arrived and within minutes gave me an estimate of 440 dollars. Jake was not pushy, he was knowledgeable and friendly. He completed the work in a timely fashion and at a fair price. When done he took the time to show me the places to keep lubricated on the door. It was a stress free timely encounter that did not break the bank. I know who I will call if I ever need garage door service again, thank you jake."
Enclosing a carport essentially turns it into a garage. You’ll start by framing and finishing exterior walls, then add a garage door (averaging $1,200), windows, and wiring for lights or outlets.
Plan for site prep and, if needed, a thicker slab to handle the added weight. Once the walls are up, insulation, drywall, and exterior siding create a secure, weather-tight space that protects vehicles and gear year-round.
A well-built carport may not add a huge dollar figure to an appraisal, but it can boost buyer appeal. Covered parking protects vehicles and lawn equipment, sharpens curb appeal, and fills what might otherwise be an empty driveway space. If the carport matches your home’s style and stays in good repair, it can make the property more attractive and competitive when you decide to sell.
Most cities and counties require a building permit for a new carport. Fees range from $60 to $800, depending on local codes and the size of the structure. Getting the permit upfront ensures the carport meets zoning rules and HOA guidelines, protecting you from fines or expensive retrofits later. Check with your building department—or ask your contractor—before ordering materials or scheduling installation.
A poured concrete slab is the gold standard for carport foundations. Concrete delivers superior load-bearing strength, keeps posts level, and resists shifting in freeze-thaw conditions. While gravel, dirt, or permeable pavers cost less upfront, they can’t match concrete’s long-term stability, especially if you might convert the carport into a garage later. Investing in a slab now can save money and hassle down the road.
Pre-made kits start at $300 and bundle all the required parts—sometimes installation, too—making them the most budget-friendly option. Custom carports cost more ($12 to $40 per square foot plus labor) but let you match the design, size, and finishes to your home.
If price and quick setup top your list, go with a kit. If you have a tricky layout or want a seamless aesthetic, investing in a custom build is worth the premium.
